Template:Zfloat left
Usage
[edit]This template floats text to the left without changing textual alignment, however (unlike {{float left}}) the remaining text on the page is overlaid as if the floated text is not present at all. This permits such effects as:
{{zfloat left|{{nowrap|'''This text is floated left with no offset.'''}}}}{{centre|''This text is truly centred.''}} which yields
This text is truly centred.
whereas (traditional approach):
{{float left|'''This text is floated left.'''}}{{centre|''This text is '''not''' truly centred.''}} yields
This text is not truly centred.
Limitations
[edit]- If insufficient display width is available, the text blocks will overlap with the result likely to be quite unreadable.
- It will normally be necessary to take measures as above to suppress white-space wrapping (e.g. {{nowrap}}) in the floated text.
Parameters
[edit]- left: Specify left margin offset (default is 0)
- top: Specify specify vertical offset (default 1em, which normally results in level alignment with first line of following text)
